Hi. I am trying to write my first novel, fact and fiction.As I hold you highly in historical facts, I have a two part Question.

1 If an officer killed in the battle of Abu Klea 1885, what would be the approx date his family would be informed?

2 How long  approx would it take for the journey back the the uk?

I hope you don’t mind me asking, I just want to get my story as close to true facts as possible.

Yours sincerely

Barry Davis
